“Trump’s death clock”: this is how hired documentary filmmaker Eugene Jarecki baptized a light panel recently installed in New York to display the number of American deaths from the epidemic that he said could have been avoided if the president had acted sooner.
This “clock”, erected on the roof of a building in Times Square deserted by the pandemic, showed more than 48,000 dead on Tuesday (trumpdeathclock.com), out of a total of American deaths from the coronavirus now exceeding 80,000, the heaviest official death toll of any country on the planet.
The counter of the “clock” increases according to the following assumption: 60% of deaths in the United States could have been avoided if the government of Donald Trump had decided to promulgate rules of distancing and closing schools one week earlier than it did, which was March 9 instead of March 16, Jarecki explained in a blog on Medium.

The New York director, twice awarded at the Sundance Festival, explained using this “cautious” figure of 60%, because it is the one calculated by certain specialists from comments made in mid-April by the highly respected Anthony Fauci . The famous epidemiologist and adviser to Donald Trump then indicated that the implementation of these measures from March 9 “could have saved lives”.
